Chapter 18 Catching Up
Xue Cheng was so angry that he couldn’t care about anything about his manners anymore. He scolded sharply, “Certainly you beggar have nothing to lose, so let’s do it this way. If you lose, get on your knees in front of me and apologize, and after that, get out of the Yao family! How’s that?”
Without even thinking about it, Xiao Shun agreed, “Sure.”
Yao Cen hastily pulled at the hem of his T-shirt, “Xiao Shun, are you crazy?”
“Don’t worry. As I said, there’s no way I am going to lose, so there’s no way I will leave the Yao family and leave you.”
Xiao Shun said to her in a relaxed tone.
Yao Cen held her forehead. What the hell was this bastard thinking? She just wanted to say that this bet was ridiculous! Could she possibly be afraid of him leaving?
“Crazy. Why do you have to ruin a good meal!” Tian Mengyun was already so angry that she could barely speak.
“Uncle, Aunt, it’s just an insignificant hiccup. It’s between me and Mr. Xiao and let’s have our lunch now.”
Xue Cheng finally calmed down a bit and got back all his lost manners.
Liu Yunhai felt that the banquet had become totally something else. He was just trying to show off how successful his daughter had been, but to his surprise, it was a total mess now. Perhaps the relatives present were all thinking about that ridiculous bet, and he just hoped he could get the whole thing over with and leave.
“Xue Cheng, I am terribly sorry for this. I hope you don’t mind.”
“Sure, it’s really not a big deal.” Xue Cheng said with a gentle smile.
“The huge difference between the two is just staggering. What a good kid Xue Cheng has been and then look at that shameless rubbish. What a ridiculous bet!”
“He just can’t see that gap.”
Just then, suddenly a woman who looked just like a manager walked in with an apologetic look and she said very politely.
“Gentlemen and ladies, I’m terribly sorry, since you are the last one to make your reservation here, and now we have a very important customer coming, can you please leave now and come back another day? We will compensate you with twice the cost of the meal.”
There was immediately an uproar in the room.
“Why is this happening? Didn’t we have a reservation? So we should just leave when you tell us to leave? Is this how you do business?”
“Why should we leave? Why don’t you just give that important customer of yours another room?”
Several of the young men took turns to voice their displeasure.
While they were all angry, everyone knew that this Emperor Hall belonged to the Song family, one of the four great families of Hamana, so they didn’t dare to anything more than that.
Liu Manqing looked at Xue Cheng, “Honey, what’s going on? Don’t you know the general manager here? Should we call and ask what’s going on?”
“Qing, don’t worry, leave it to me.”
At that, Xue Cheng rushed to that manager and said, “I want to meet your general manager, and I’d like to know what important customer it is such that we will have to give up our room!”
Xue Cheng was feeling furious in his heart. Originally he had wanted to make a good show in front of the Liu family, but at first he made some silly bet with a crazy airhead, and now he met such a thing. He felt like he had used all his bad luck for his whole life today.
He must find someone to vent his anger.
Although a manager was not some significant position at Emperor Hall, still she had seen a lot of people. Even more prominent figures would not dare to mess with them, she would not be afraid of such a young boy.
“Excuse me, sir, this is an order from above…”
“Goddamn it. I want your general manager right here and tell me how important that bullshit customer of yours is such that we will have to leave!” Xue Cheng finally couldn’t hold back.
“Why don’t we just go, and we can go somewhere else.”
“Yes, Mr. Xue, it’s just a meal. We can have our meal anywhere.”
“Mr. Xue, it’s okay. As long as you treat Man Qing well in the future, it’s just a meal and it doesn’t even matter.” Liu Yunhai also said.
They all knew that the people who came here were all dignitaries. Not to mention some important customer of their, they could not even afford to offend the Song family to begin with. They might not be able to bear the consequences should anything happen.
“Please don’t worry. We’re not leaving today, so I just wonder if they would kick us out.”
Xue Cheng waved his hand, indicated the crowd to sit down, turned his head and scolded the manager again, “What are you still standing there for? Why don’t you go get your general manager over!”
The manager shook her head helplessly and walked out.
She said to herself, “This guy must have gone to the wrong place for his Oscar.”
“Manqing has got a great husband.”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Manqing’s definitely got her Mr. Right, and she will definitely have a good life in the future.”
The crowd’s praise made Xue Cheng extraordinarily flattered, and he felt like he was a bit carried away already.
Not long after, a woman in a suit and tie, in her early thirties and quite pretty, walked in, presumably the general manager of Emperor Hall, and with a warm smile she said, “Everyone, I’m really sorry, but an emergency notice has been given from above and we will just have to ask you to leave now.”
That’s a polite way of putting it, but the implication was obvious – You have just got an ultimatum to get out now!
Xue Cheng was at least from such an affluent family and he had never been through something like this before. He was instantly furious, “You are the general manager? Do you know who I am? My father is Xue Zhaohai…”
The pretty manager’s face was cold as she interrupted in a calm voice, “I don’t care if your father is some Xue Zhaohai or whatever. Just let me tell you, I don’t give a shit about who you are and you just have to get the fuck out of here now!”
The aura that erupted from that petite young woman was enough proof of her identity as the general manager of Emperor Hall, and instantly a silence fell over the room as everyone was stunned.
In the corner Xiao Shun was pretty relaxed however, and he was just enjoying a good show.
Anyway, as far as he was concerned, it was just a place for them all to show off. He could have his meal anywhere.
“Li, what’s going on? Is the room ready?”
At that moment a voice came from outside.
The pretty manager immediately turned around in fear and nodded to the door, “Boss, it’s all my fault. They just refused to leave.”
“If they don’t leave, just have security throw them out.”
When they heard the words, they saw a short-haired middle-aged man with a small build appear in front of the crowd.
“Song Lianghai…!”
“It’s over! It’s over! They all say that he’s the craziest man in the family and he has got all kind of connections in the city… Today we have offended a real big shot…”
The Liu family whispered when they saw the visitor.
